Import & Export Zone Coordinate Data
This section describes how to modify a monitoring zone by importing coordinates from a comma delimited text
file. Monitoring zone coordinate data can also be exported to a text file for later use.
Monitoring zone parameters are subject to a number of constraints that include projective consistency,
maximum radius, and angle limits. As a result, the imported zone may not correspond exactly to the zone
defined in the file. The user must visually verify the imported zone when the import process is complete.
Refer to Checkout and Test Procedure Log on page 144.
File Format
In order for the OS32C Configuration Tool to properly import zone coordinate data, the data in the text
file (.txt) must be in the correct format:
Fig. 3-21 File format
File ID: The first line of the file must always be 32001
Measurement unit:
The second line of the text file indicates the measurement unit and must be set to
0, 1, or 2 where
0 = mm
1 = cm
2 = inches
Shape Type:
The third line of the file must be set to 0, 1, or 2 where
0 = circular segment
1 = polygon
2 = rectangle
DZS ID
: 1 to 70. Boundary data will be imported to the specified DZS.
Zone ID
: 1 = safety zone, 2 = warning zone 1, 3 = warning zone 2
Reserved:
Line 5 of the text file is reserved for future use. Set this line to 0
Coordinate Data:
This data must start on line 6 of the text file and can span multiple lines, depending
on the zone shape:
Circular segment:
Data format: <radius>,<starting angle (degrees)>,<ending angle(degrees)>
